Hello Screensaver for your Android TV, 4k 60fps (Multi-language hello screensaver from MacOS Monterey)
-- Thanks to @barrycraig & @HybridJunkie for making it Possible. --
- @barrycraig is the original creator of this project, without him this project would have never been initiated.
- @Hybridjunkie is a YouTuber with 35k+ Subscribers and has contributed .mov to this Project.
This is a Forked version of Project originally by @barrycraig and is just a simple, fun project. I have no experience in developing apps yet and I am starting to learn kotlin. I really liked the Mac Os Hello Screensaver so I decided to make an app that does the same thing but on Andorid TV. And to initiate the development, I have Forked AndroidAerial PS. I also dont really know anything about Github so apologies for something irrelevant written by me here.
The app is very limited in it's functionality. It will only play ".mov" files and it will only scan a single fixed local folder. It is being tested on a 2020 Sony A8H TV with Expanded Storage (Total : 60gb+ Available after expanding)
- Install the APK on your Android TV.
- Create the following folder: "Storage/emulated/0/Screensaver"
- Launch the app and grant it permission to access your filesystem.
- Put the .mov video into that folder to use it as screensaver. Link to .mov file : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YX14cne0FAlISjPahDzOemgwe--i-L8c/view
- Select Hello Screensaver from screensaver settings and enjoy.
[Same as the Original Project]
- Not possible to manually select source folder
- Any non-video files in the folder seem to break the screensaver
- If other media is paused, screensaver will fail to launch.
